Gemini 4: NASA Photo Sequence of the Southwest United States
Directly from the Personal Collection of Ed White II. A massive
and heavy framed presentation, 52.5" x 25.5" in size, containing
eight overlapping color photos, most are 8.75" x 8.75", mounted to
a matboard so that the geographical features fit in a sequence.
There is a printed caption beneath that reads: "From the Pacific
Ocean to Tucson, Arizona, the pitiless toll of arid centuries
contorts a famished earth. Astronaut Edward H. White made this
remarkable sequence of pictures from more than 100 miles altitude
on the flight of Gemini IV, June 6, 1965." Gemini 4 was the first
NASA manned space mission where terrain photography was a primary
objective. Excellent condition.
